Overview:
The Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Botrytis Semillon is a remarkable natural sweet wine, crafted only in exceptional vintages when the Botrytis cinerea fungus, also known as noble rot, successfully infects the Semillon grapes. This process causes the berries to shrivel, concentrating their flavours and creating a unique, complex profile that reflects the winemaker's careful attention to detail. Moss Wood’s commitment to producing wines of distinction is showcased in this rare, elegant dessert wine from the Ribbon Vale vineyard in Margaret River.
Tasting Notes:
The wine offers a captivating and multi-layered aromatic profile with notes of dried apricots, figs, and pears. Intriguing background nuances of raisins, earth, and aspirin add to the complexity, creating an exceptional and unique bouquet. On the palate, the wine is rich, full-bodied, and luscious, with a luscious sweetness that is beautifully balanced by fresh acidity. The wine’s delicate tannins provide structure, adding depth and elegance to this extraordinary sweet wine.
